Translation stalling and ribosome collision leading to proteostasis failure:implications for neurodegenerative diseases

Proteostasis denotes a cellular state in which protein synthesis,folding,and degradation are maintained at a homeostatic state such that an intact yet dynamic proteome is preserved.Cellular capacity to preserve proteostasis declines with age,which is assumed to contribute to the pathogenesis of age-related diseases.Proteostasis failure manifested as the formation of aberrant protein aggregates,including the amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s disease(AD),Lewy bodies in Parkinson’s disease,and TAR DNA binging protein 43 inclusions in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS),is a defining feature of neurodegenerative diseases.

Comparative evaluation in treating qi-yin deficiency and phlegm stasis syndrome of type 2 diabetes mellitus in a rat model

Objective:To compare the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM),western medicine and integrative medicine in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a rat model.Methods:The T2DM rat model was established with a high-fat diet (HFD) for 35 days and a single injection of streptozotocin (STZ,30 mg/kg).The T2DM-induced rats were divided into three groups,and treated with Yiqi Yangyin Huatan (YQYYHT) granules (3.84 g/kg per day),pioglitazone (1.35 mg/kg per day) or YQYYHT granules + pioglitazone (3.84 g/kg per day+1.35 mg/kg per day) respectively for 14 days.Clinical features and behavioral changes,as well as T2DM indicators,were recorded to evaluate therapeutics effects in each treatment group.Results:The T2DM rat model expressed insulin resistance (IR),with features similar to qi-yin deficiency and phlegm stasis syndrome,including decreased cyclic adenosine monophosphate/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cAMP/cGMP) ratio,decreased levels of Na+-K+-ATPase,superoxide dismutase (SOD) and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C),and increased levels of serum triglyceride (TG),total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein (LDL-C).All three treatment groups showed significant decreases in fasting blood glucose (FBG) and fasting insulin (Fins),and improvement of TCM syndrome to different degrees.Importantly,YQYYHT improved the most of the indicators of T2DM,followed by integrative medicine and pioglitazone alone.Conclusion:Compared with western medicine or integrative medicine,prescription of TCM based on syndrome differentiation may offer more advantages in the prevention and treatment of T2DM.

Research Progress and Prospects on the Anti-liver Fibrosis,Blood Circulation-promoting and Stasis-resolving Effects of Curcuma kwangsiensis Based on W-P Bodies

Liver fibrosis is a necessary stage in the progression of chronic liver disease to cirrhosis.So far,no satisfactory drugs have been found to intervene in liver fibrosis.Liver microcirculation disorders are one of the important pathogenesis of chronic liver disease,and hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells(HSECs)are the main cells that constitute the liver microcirculation barrier.In clinical practice,W-P bodies have been detected in HSECs of most patients with liver fibrosis.W-P bodies serve as a site for the synthesis and storage of vW factors,ET-1 and other cytokines that promote liver fibrosis.They can disrupt the structure and function of HSECs,cause liver microcirculation disorders,and exacerbate the progression of liver fibrosis.Previous studies have found that the Guangxi specialty ethnic medicine,C.kwangsiensis S.G.Lee et C.F.Liang,has definite effects in promoting blood circulation,resolving blood stasis,and resisting liver fibrosis.Based on this,a further research idea has been derived,stating that the blood circulation-promoting,blood stasis-resolving,and anti-liver fibrosis effects of C.kwangsiensis are produced by affecting the formation of W-P bodies,the synthesis and storage of contents in W-P bodies,and intervening in their exocytosis capacity.
